Charlton’s clash with Portsmouth called off as pitch is deemed unplayable

30 January 2021

The Sky Bet League One fixture between Charlton and Portsmouth was called off around an hour before the scheduled kick-off time on Saturday, with The Valley pitch deemed unplayable following an inspection.

Match officials checked the condition of the pitch at 1pm after a night and morning of sustained rain put the fixture in doubt, before a second check just before 2pm lasted a matter of minutes.

Both Charlton and Pompey were last in action in midweek, with the Addicks claiming a 1-0 win at MK Dons while Portsmouth were defeated at home by league leaders Lincoln by the same scoreline.
